Depends on which Eastern Conference team he ends up with, and how
good the C's are.  Suppose they deal him, less say for Anthony Mason,
which might actually make a lot of sense, since Cowens and he don't get 
along - similar to Il Duce and Antoine - and Charlotte may be
willing to take players like Travis Knight - with Geiger departing -
to make up for the salary cap difference.  Mason would fit perfectly
in Pitino's system, and add the needed beef to the front court.
Something that would come in handy, if the C's add the light weight
Stewart.

 No thanks. Send him West if at all!

You have a point there, but they need a star, and they have plenty of 
big people; plus Disney may be buying 40 % of the Clipps.

Lafrentz is certainly bigger than the guy the C's are supposedly 
signing - Stewart, so perhaps everyone is making too much of Raef's
alleged lack of size.
